El capitalismo argentino en la posconvertibilidad: un análisis de los alcances del desempeño productivo y de su relación con las políticas científicas y tecnológicas

El artículo analiza las principales transformaciones ocurridas en la Argentina en materia productiva y tecnológica en la década transcurrida desde el colapso del régimen de convertibilidad en diciembre de 2001. Para ello se trabaja a dos niveles analíticos diferenciales. En primer término, un análisis de la trayectoria del sector manufacturero, enfatizándose sobre la existencia de una nueva dinámica de crecimiento que ha revertido la tendencia desindustrializadora desarrollado durante el cuarto de siglo que le precedió y, al mismo tiempo, la continuidad de algunos de sus sesgos regresivos más críticos. En segundo lugar, se analizan las principales transformaciones ocurridas en materia de políticas científico-tecnológicas, el fortalecimiento de las capacidades estatales y la puesta en funcionamiento de novedosos instrumentos de promoción e incentivo para la formación de recursos humanos y de actividades productivas intensivas en conocimiento. Se argumenta que ese conjunto de transformaciones permiten concebir la existencia de una nueva armonía en la configuración de las relaciones entre desempeño productivo y política científico-tecnológica.

Temporal variation of antibiotic resistance genes carried by culturable bacteria in the shrimp hepatopancreas and shrimp culture pond water.

The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is a challenge to the health of humans, animals and the environments. Human activities and aquatic environments can increase ARGs. Few studies have focused on the temporal variation of aquatic bacteria with multiple ARGs in aquatic environments affected by human production activity. We studied culturable bacteria (CB) carrying ARGs, including sul1, sul2, floR, strA and gyrA in the shrimp hepatopancreas (HP) and in pond water during shrimp culture. The relative abundance of ARGs carried by CB in HP was higher than that in water (P<0.05). However, CB carrying ARGs generally varied in random pattern. The correlation of sul2 abundance was significantly positive in HP, while that of strA abundance was significantly negative in water (P<0.05) during shrimp culture. Among all of the CB, 33.59% carried multiple ARGs. Temporal distance-decay analysis indicated that CB carrying ARGs in water were more resistant to the effects of human activity. CB carrying ARGs varied temporally in HP and pond water during shrimp culture. These results demonstrate that multiple ARGs are carried by CB, and these varied with the phase of aquatic culture.

Does lockdown reduce air pollution? Evidence from 44 cities in northern China

Responding to the ongoing novel coronavirus (agent of COVID-19) outbreak, China implemented “the largest quarantine in human history” in Wuhan on 23 January 2020. Similar quarantine measures were imposed on other Chinese cities within days. Human mobility and relevant production and consumption activities have since decreased significantly. As a likely side effect of this decrease, many regions have recorded significant reductions in air pollution. We employed daily air pollution data and Intracity Migration Index (IMI) data form Baidu between 1 January and 21 March 2020 for 44 cities in northern China to examine whether, how, and to what extent travel restrictions affected air quality. On the basis of this quantitative analysis, we reached the following conclusions: (1) The reduction of air pollution was strongly associated with travel restrictions during this pandemic—on average, the air quality index (AQI) decreased by 7.80%, and five air pollutants (i.e., SO2, PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and CO) decreased by 6.76%, 5.93%, 13.66%, 24.67%, and 4.58%, respectively. (2) Mechanism analysis illustrated that the lockdowns of 44 cities reduced human movements by 69.85%, and a reduction in the AQI, PM2.5, and CO was partially mediated by human mobility, and SO2, PM10, and NO2 were completely mediated. (3) Our findings highlight the importance of understanding the role of green production and consumption.

Allocation of performance shaping factors in the risk assessment of an offshore installation

Offshore oil production is one of the most important human productive activities. There are many risks associated with the process of constructing a subsea well, pumping oil to the platform, and transporting it to refineries via underwater pipes or oil tankers. All actions performed by workers in those operations are influenced by specific working conditions, involving the use of complex systems. Contextual factors such as high noise, low and high temperatures and hazardous chemicals are considered to be contributors to unsafe human actions in accident analysis and also give a basis for assessing human factors in safety analysis. Some failure modes are particularly dangerous and can result in severe accidents and damage to humans, the environment and material assets. Fires and explosions on oil rigs are some of the most devastating types of offshore accidents and can result in long-term consequences. The most typical root causes related to accidents include equipment failure, human error, environmental factors, work organization, training and, communication, among others. The principal objective of this study is to propose a methodological framework to identify the factors that affect the performance of operators of an offshore unit for oil processing and treatment. In this phase, an ergonomics approach based on operators' work analysis is used as a supporting tool. After identification of factors that affect the performance of operators, a decision-making model based on AHP (analytic hierarchy process) is applied to rank and weight the principal performance shaping factors (PSFs) that influence safe operations. The next step involves the use of the SHELLO model to group the main PSFs in elements named software, hardware, environment, liveware and organization. In the last phase, a relevant accident that occurred aboard a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel is analyzed. The allocation process of the factors that affect the operator's performance in risk assessment was developed through fuzzy logic and the ISO 17776 standard.

Interactions between wild boar and cattle in Patagonian temperate forest: cattle impacts are worse when alone than with wild boar

The global phenomenon of introduced species has caused serious, negative impacts on biodiversity and human productive activities. Often, introduced species become invasive and impact and modifies the availability of resources in native ecosystem. Cattle and wild boar are two species that have been introduced on all continents for food and sport hunting. Both species cause detrimental changes in ecosystem processes and biodiversity. Particularly in Patagonia, it has been shown in different studies that in isolation these species can cause damage to native plants, alter the structure of the soil and its processes. This study sought to assess and compare the ecosystem impacts of cattle and wild boar upon ecosystem structure and function in different scenarios with the presence of both, one or none of these focal species. Our study area is the Nahuel Huapi National Park where both species have significant presence on temperate forest. In order to evaluate the species impact we combined experimental and observational methods across sites with the presence of one species, both species, and sites without either species. Our data showed that sites with both species or only wild boar showed fewer impacts than expected. However, when cattle is presence, this species seriously threaten the native ecosystems by affecting plant biomass, reducing the shrub cover and number of native plants, and enhancing exotic plant species. Our study found no evidence to support of additive effects or impacts a between both species, but the presence of both cattle and wild boar could have an antagonistic effect or interactions through resource competition. Although cattle and wild boar are considered valuable socio-economic resources, we believe that the free-range populations of these mammals that inhabit temperate forests of Patagonia should have focused management plans that prioritize the control of cattle, to subsequently focus on the management of the wild boar.

Strategic Risks of the Public Administration in the Digital Economy

The current decade is a period of origination and manifestation of the game-changing strategic challenges and threats as well as the geopolitical, socio-economic, institutional, and technological risks that arise from the development and penetration of the digital technologies. The World economy is entering the new stage of its development that implies that the human production, exchange, distribution, and consumption activities are directly connected with the formation, processing, and application of large amounts of information and knowledge that exist in a digital format. The concepts "The digital economy" and "The knowledge-based economy" are becoming inseparable and this has an impact on the digital transformation of the institutions of public administration. The digital technologies are increasing the capabilities of the State to respond the global challenges but at the same time generating the new strategic risks, especially institutional and technological ones. Furthermore, the possible directions of the digital evolution of the State are still discussing, not defined. The paper deals with the concept of the digital transformation of the institutions of the public administration with the risks being taken into account. Conclusion that optimizing the above strategic risks is a critical national priority.The authors declare no conflict of interest.

The performances of the baking-free bricks of non-sintered wrap-shell lightweight aggregates from dredged sediments

The massive accumulation of dredged sediments and the heavy consumption of gravel are urgent environmental problems in human productive activities. To overcome these issues, a new technology of baking-free bricks of non-sintered wrap-shell lightweight aggregates (WSLAs) from dredged sediments was studied. The baking-free technology was adopted in craft to prepare the WSLAs whose macro and micro structures were used for characterization, and then WSLAs were used in replacing crush stone (CSAs) in the process of bricks making. In this paper, the density, water absorption rate, compressive strength, and frost resistance properties of non-sintered wrap-shell lightweight aggregates concrete bricks (WSLABs) from dredged sediments were studied from two aspects: the volume replacement ratio of WSLAs (WA%), and aggregates-to-binder ratio (A/C). Results show that WSLAs, as a lightweight material, was used to press the lightweight brick with a minimum density of 1820 kg/m3. Due to the unique core shell structure of WSLAs and its cylinder pressure strength is much lower than CSAs, when the WA % is up to 50%, the aggregates inside the bricks were crushed and damaged by mutual compression, thus Water absorption rate is up to 4.78%. After 25 freeze-thaw cycles, as the WA% reached 100%, the mass loss rate and strength loss rate of the WSLABS were as low as 1.56% and 6.18% respectively. In the study, WSLAs with porosity and excellent characteristics of Water absorption and drainage can be well combined with cement stone, when the WA % is 100%, WSLABs have relatively excellent strength performance, reaching 35 MPa and meeting the requirement of Chinese National Standards (GB/T 28635-2012). The above research results reveal that the feasibility of pressing WSLABs from dredged sediment by non-sintered process. This technology not only solves the problem of dredged soil disposal, but also protects the over-exploitation of mineral resources, and the technology has a broad application prospect and market value.

Optimization of the National Land Space Based on the Coordination of Urban-Agricultural-Ecological Functions in the Karst Areas of Southwest China

National land spatial planning is dominated by urban-agricultural-ecological functions and has become a Chinese national strategic issue. However, the three functional spaces have serious conflicts in the karst areas, causing inconsistencies in regional development and triggering poverty and a more serious situation for the ecological environment. In this study, we used the gray multi-objective dynamic programming model and the conversion of land use and its effects at small region extent model to simulate the developmental structures of future land use in the karst areas of Southwest China under a socioeconomic development scenario, an arable land protection scenario and an ecological security scenario. Finally, based on the coordination of the urban-agricultural-ecological functions, we used a functional space classification method to optimize the spatial structures of the national land space for 2035 year and to identify different functional areas. The results showed that the three scenarios with different objectives had differences in the quantities and spatial structures of land use but that the area of forestland was the largest and the area of water was the smallest in each scenario. The optimization of the national land space was divided into seven functional areas—urban space, agricultural space, ecological space, urban-agricultural space, urban-ecological space, agricultural-ecological space and urban-agricultural-ecological space. The ecological space was the largest and the urban-ecological space was the smallest among seven functional areas. The different types of functional spaces had significant differentiation characteristics in the layouts. The urban-agricultural space, urban-ecological space, agricultural-ecological space and urban-agricultural-ecological space can effectively alleviate the impacts of human activities and agricultural production activities in karst areas, promote the improvement of rocky desertification and improve the quality of the regional ecological environment. The results of this research can provide support for decisions about the balanced development of the national land space and the improvement of environmental quality in the karst areas.

Research on Rational Utilization of Urban Water Resources Based on Sponge City Theory-Making Comparison between China and Singapore

Water resources are indispensable for human survival and production activities, but the world’s per capita sharing of water resources are not optimistic. With the acceleration of social development and industrialization, people pay more attention to economic development than the protection of water resources. Water pollution and waste have also worsened the issue of water scarcity. China, as the most populous country in the world, is particularly struggling for water shortage. Therefore, the research on the rational use of water resources is of great significance to China’s sustainable and healthy development. This paper analyzes the difficulties of water resources utilization and the issue of under-utilization of domestic water resources in China. It then accordingly proposes recommendations by comparing the current situation of sponge city construction at home and abroad. It is found that we are now facing the difficulties of water shortages, water resources waste and pollution in China on water use. What’s more, the fact that sponge city construction is mainly carried out in emerging cities indicates that we can learn from the successful experience of other countries like Singapore to make overall planning for regions and by time according to the national condition of China. Specifically speaking, the problems concerning water resources in different cities will be solved based on their local conditions.

ALTERATION OF THE BRAIN AND LIVER TISSUE OF ALBINO RATS WITH LEAD INTOXICATION IN THE DYNAMICS OF THE EXPERIMENT

Introduction. Lead intoxication is one of the most common intoxications with heavy metals. Lead is a global anthropogenic pollutant. The widespread use of lead in human production activities is the main cause of lead pollution of the environment. Lead is capable of the accumulation in the environment and organisms. Central nervous system, detoxification, and excretion systems and hematopoietic system are the most sensitive to lead exposure. The results of experimental modeling of the toxic effect of lead acetate on the organism of albino rats are presented in this paper. Material and methods. Animals with an average mass of 200 g received lead acetate in a dose of 70.5 mg/kg with water. Structural disorders in the brain and liver tissues were determined by methods of review histology. The examination was carried out in two terms - immediately after the end of the exposure and after 9 weeks in a remote post-contact period. Results. The disorder of blood circulation in blood vessels, an increase in the number of stellate macrophages in the Kupffer cells and polynuclear hepatocytes in the liver, and a decrease in the total number of neurons in the brain tissue, development of perivascular edema in the brain tissue and diapedesis of formed blood elements in the perivascular space were revealed as a result of an experiment. There is an increase in the number of neuronophagy acts. In this case, the number of degenerately altered neurons did not differ from the control values. Discussion. Thus, the effect of lead on the body is characterized by a violation of the functions of the circulatory system, the development of a pronounced macrophage response in the liver tissue and death of neurons in the cerebral cortex. Conclusion. The obtained data indicate compensatory processes in the liver tissue of experimental animals to arise under the influence of high doses of lead acetate and persist in a remote post-contact period.

Sdi in modern cartography for information on land resources

Land is the foundation of all human social production activities and is a precious natural resource and property. Land is a non-renewable resource with a limited area. With the development of human society, the demand for land is also growing. In order to make better use of land resources, scientifically plan land use, protect land resources, obtain maximum economic benefits, and achieve sustainable social and economic development, access to land information is very important. Cartography, which originated from the production activities of human society, has a close relationship with the land. With the development of modern information technology, more and more new technologies have emerged, which has promoted the development and change of cartography, network information technology and database technology. This development has also promoted the emergence and development of spatial data infrastructures (SDI). These changes make the acquisition of land information easier, and the types and quantities of information acquired are more diversified and huge. Keywords: cartography, Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI), geodata. land resources.

Analysis on the current situation and causes of the destruction of aquatic ecosystems in China

In recent years, with the rapid economic development, the current situation of aquatic ecosystem in China is not optimistic, facing unprecedented challenges. Water is an irreplaceable material for all life activities. It is essential not only for human survival and development, but also for human productive activities and maintaining the ecological environment for human survival. Without a certain quantity and quality of water, all living things on the earth cannot survive. Therefore, this paper will analyze the current situation and causes of the destruction of aquatic ecosystems in China by using the data from China Environment Bulletin, which will help to promote the green and sustainable development of aquatic environment in China.

Changes of Wetlands in Southwest of China based on Remote Sensing Image and Statistical Data Recognition Technologies: from 1990 to 2016

Wetlands play a significant role in the sustainable development of ecological environment. Nevertheless, the ecosystem of many wetlands has been disturbed and even undermined by recent urbanization and human productive activities. Especially, impact on wetland landscape will affect its ecological function. In this paper, we analyze the changes of wetlands in Southwest China, and have produced the following four results: (1) the area of wetland waters in the study area has been decreasing year by year. From 1990 to 2010 this tendency was particularly prominent; (2) The changes of the international, national and provincial important lake wetlands, which are represented by Lashi Sea, Dianchi Lake and Fuxian Lake, are not obvious in four periods; (3) The sum of the other lake watersheds changed significantly in four periods, slightly higher in 2000 than in 1990, and then decreased rapidly year after year; (4) The changes of the important large reservoirs are more obvious than other lakes; (5) Other reservoir, bottomland and marsh declined sharply by 44.79% from 375.47 km2 in 1990 to 201.07 km2 in 2016;(6) Natural, societal, and economic, as well as human, activities are the major factors of the changes of the wetland landscape in the southwest China.Results suggest that the ecological environment of wetlands should be protected to maximize the function of wetland ecosystems in southwest China.

On the critical mass of greenhouse gas

In recent years, changes in the Earth’s climate have raised concern all around the globe. Climatologists have been drawing connections between global warming and a growing number of natural disasters, unexpected temperature fluctuations in some regions of the world and a number of other climatic aberrations. Within the scientific community, the opinions as to the nature and mechanism of the Earth’s climate change have split. Some contend that since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the carbon dioxide levels in the air have been steadily rising due to human production activities. Along with other gases, carbon dioxide has been inculpated for the greenhouse effect. In connection with this, a number of recent international conferences have adopted resolutions to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Another group of climatologists bases its findings on observations of solar activity, arguing that global warming is caused by a recurring spike in solar activity, with the current increase due to end soon, potentially giving way to a new ice age down the road. In the following work, we put forth yet another hypothesis regarding global warming. The influence of four main positive feedback loops caused by the secondary emission of water vapor, NI 2 , NI 4 , and decreased albedo on the earth climate system is shown on the basis of the general theory of feedback. If the present level of primary anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gas (GhG) keeps, the total mass of atmospheric greenhouse gas can run up to such a critical value that the mentioned feedbacks, which give rise to self-amplification of the greenhouse effect, can cause the bifurcation transition of the climate system to the state of self-heating tending to the unlimited rise of mean temperature of the earth surface.

Strategic guidelines of the educational interactive environment as a basis to develop the axiosphere of a future teacher

The article examines the phenomenon of the interactive educational environment as a carefully constructed context to develop the future teacher’s personality as a result of organized human productive activity where the set of relations and connections subjectively specifies that are specific conditions to develop the future teacher’s axiosphere. The relevance of this work is to explore the dialogue educational environment as a factor forming the future teacher's values, which corresponds to modern trends of development in higher pedagogical education: humanizing and using dialogues in the educational environment; purposeful intellectual and moral development of the future professional in the context of its inclusion in a variety of independent activities, individual routes of subjects in educational process; the motivation development to pedagogical activity and professional students’ education; the personality to universal human and national values; the use in educational process of higher school and interactive technologies of education, pedagogical innovations, etc. Appealing to the analysis of the interactive educational environment has allowed identifying and characterizing components of his conceptual model: motivational-target, informational-communicative, subject to subject, content-axiological, organizational-active and productive. A role of principles of dialogic education is shown as: the principle of information enrichment, the principle of unity in diversity, freedom of choice, the dynamic principle, the identity principle, the principle of emotional openness. The authors present the strategic guidelines of the interactive environment education: the development of social cooperation, using the pedagogical peaceful potential, the development of interpersonal and intergroup relations, organizing children’s education as a strategic national priority. The resource analysis of dialogue area in education led the authors to the definition of ways developing the future teacher’s axiosphere, the formation of their socio-cultural, professional-pedagogical and personal values. Among the modern technologies there is dedicated interactive educational technology: a dialogue, educational discussion, a communication technology, technology of critical thinking development, technology of pedagogical workshops, moral dilemmas technology (L. Colberg).

Analysis on the morphology and mechanical characteristics of agglomerated particles emitted from the diesel exhaust process

The diesel engine particulate which is one of the major sources of PM, affects the development of human health and production activities seriously. With the continuous strict of emission regulations, the diesel engine particles are subject to strict restriction in terms of quality and quantity. At present, the diesel particulate filter technology is an important technical measure to reduce the exhaust particulate matter of the diesel engine. And the efficient capture of particles is one of the key technologies for the diesel particulate filter. Diesel engine exhaust particles undergo nucleation, surface growth, agglomeration and other processes, in which the degree of agglomeration of exhaust particles will directly affect its number density, scale and the trapping efficiency of the filter and so on. The reason why particles can be agglomerated is mainly due to the interaction between the particles. Therefore, to explore the relationship between the force and the effect of particle agglomeration, it is necessary to carry out the study on the interaction between the exhaust particles of diesel engines. The interaction between particles will affect the process of particle agglomeration and related parameters significantly. The main forces include van der Waals force, electrostatic force and liquid bridge force. In this paper, theoretical models of Hamaker and some others are used to analyze the force between particles in the ideal state. The test methods of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to investigate the total attraction force, adhesion force and adhesion energy between diesel exhaust particulates in dry environment (relative humidity RH≤20%), and measure the total attraction force, adhesion force and adhesion between particles, and explore the relationship between particle size and particle size. The results show that the particle size increases from 25 to 45 nm, the Van der Waals force increases about 4.6 times, the electrostatic force increases about 9.9 times, and the electrostatic force is smaller than the electrostatic force. The adhesion between particles and adhesion energy both increased about 1.8 times. The particles with the average particle size of 30, 37 and 46 nm are measured by AFM. With the increase of the particle size, the total attraction F at between the particle and the probe increases gradually, which is 1.04–1.38 nN. Van der Waals force F vdw is the main force of the F at, and Coulomb force is smaller. The attraction force F at and the adhesion energy W ad increase with the increase of particle size, F at increases from 3.21–3.75 nN, about 16.8%, while W ad increases from 2.03×10−16 J to 2.20×10−16 J, about 8.4%. The increase of F ad and W ad indicate that the adhesion as well as the energy barrier between the particles is increased, and the particle agglomeration is stable. With the increase of the average particle size, the particles agglomerate gradually and change from branch to cluster, showing a hill-like accumulation, and the particle density as well as the cluster size are increased, which indicates that there was a certain influence between the change of particle force and particle morphology.

Bacterial and Fungal Community Structures in Loess Plateau Grasslands with Different Grazing Intensities.

The Loess Plateau of China is one of the most fragile ecosystems worldwide; thus, human production activities need to be conducted very cautiously. In this study, MiSeq high-throughput sequencing was applied to assess the relationship between bacterial and fungal community structures and changes in vegetation and soil physical and chemical properties induced by grazing, in four grasslands with different levels of grazing intensity (0, 2.67, 5.33, and 8.67 sheep/ha) in the semiarid region of the Loess Plateau. The relative abundances of the bacterial community in the grasslands with 2.67 and 5.33 sheep/ha were significantly higher than those in grasslands with 0 and 8.67 sheep/ha, and the fungal diversity was significantly lower for grasslands with 2.67 sheep/ha than for the other grasslands. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that plant biomass, nitrate, and total nitrogen have significant effects on bacterial community structure, whereas nitrate and total nitrogen also significantly affect fungal community structure. Variation partitioning showed that soil and plant characteristics influence the bacterial and fungal community structures; these characteristics explained 51.9 and 52.9% of the variation, respectively. Thus, bacterial and fungal community structures are very sensitive to grazing activity and change to different extents with different grazing intensities. Based on our findings, a grazing intensity of about 2.67 sheep/ha is considered the most appropriate in semiarid grassland of the Loess Plateau.

Construction of three-dimensional vascularized functional human liver tissue using a layer-by-layer cell coating technique

The creation of artificial liver tissue is an active area of research due to the shortage of donors for liver transplantation. Here we investigated whether a simple and efficient cell coating technique developed in our laboratory could be used to generate functional vascularized liver tissue. This technique creates three-dimensional tissue by loading cells sterically onto other cells that have been coated with layer-by-layer (LbL) nanofilms of fibronectin and gelatin, two extracellular matrix proteins. We used this technique to construct homogenous, dense, well-vascularized liver tissue from cryopreserved human primary hepatocytes, human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and normal human dermal fibroblasts. Using LbL cell coating technique resulted in higher cellular function in terms of human albumin production (P<0.01) and cytochrome P450 activity (P<0.01) invitro. Furthermore, after being transplanted subcutaneously into NOD/SCID mice, the vascularized liver tissue showed greater albumin production in the early stage than non-vascularized tissue or a hepatocyte suspension (P<0.01). Histological examination demonstrated that compare to non-vascularized tissue, there were many less-morphologically changed and intact hepatocytes in the vascularized tissue. This cell coating technique would be applicable to the generation of vascularized functional liver tissue for regenerative medicine in the future.
